Impact of Heat on Human and Animal Health in India: A Landscape Review.
Review in Dialogues in health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Climate change presents a significant global public health challenge for animals and humans. Due to geography, climate, population, and urbanization, India is vulnerable to extreme heat. This review aims to explore the impact of heat on human and animal health in India. The publications on this topic were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Out of 219 articles extracted, 44 were reviewed. The review included articles published in the last ten years, regardless of design. Half of the 44 articles were original studies; the rest were perspective, opinion, review studies, editorial, or commentary papers. The present review shows how heat adversely affects human health, increasing mortality and morbidity, especially during heat waves. Heat-related health issues in India include increased hospital admissions for cardiorespiratory diseases, mental health problems, reduced productivity, and agricultural yields. Vulnerable groups like workers, pregnant women, and children require targeted interventions. Limited evidence exists on the impact of heat on animals, but studies show increased health problems due to high temperatures. Targeted interventions are needed to prevent heat-related mortality and morbidity in India.
